Belinda gives Lucy a gun that Sara takes to Stephen's apartment. She fires a shot into a vase, but can't bring herself to shoot Stephen. The police arrive and arrest Sara, now pregnant. This mirrors the fairy tale Lucy never finished where the Little Mermaid can break her deal with the Sea Witch by killing the Prince, but she can't bring herself to do it and ends up being killed by the Sea Witch.

Disclose Notes: The ending of this story, with Sara in jail and pregnant with Stephen's child, sets up the four chapter Myths & Legends story line presented earlier in this volume. In the subsequent story, we see that Belinda arranged all the events with Lucy and Sara so that Sara's child, Erica, could be taken after her birth in preparation for eventual use in service of the Dark One.
